  • Canceled game: Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans

    There was one time, in the mid nineties, when Blizzard was developing a point & click adventure game set in the Warcraft universe. Unfortunately the game was canceled after a few years of troubled development. The few players that were able to grab an almost working copy weren't impressed: it felt uninspired and too linear.
  • Video games can educate people

    Educational games are a peculiar kind of video games of various genres. Gameplay, graphics and sound are still important aspects of educationals, but the mail goal of the developer is to teach the player something: math, history, ecology, anything! Some educationals are created with a young audience in mind, other games are aimed to a broader audience and appeal to adult gamers too: the Carmen Sandiego series is a perfect example.

  • Platform-adventure: Framed

    There are quite a few platform games that aren't simply about jumping around. Platforms and pits are only a part of the gameplay: there are objects to find and use in the right way, possibly a story, puzzles to solve and a non-linear progression in an environment usually divided into rooms. Action + platform + adventure.

Where does the love for old abandoned games comes from? Our childhood, perhaps. What's left of that age? What do we miss so much? The long afternoons spent walking in the worlds of Ultima or the hours passed impersonating Duke Nukem. Here we are now, slightly aged, eager to pay homage to all those wonderful DOS games.

After all, it's about passion and remembering.

The games listed here are no longer supported by their respective developers (as far as I know). If you find out that a game is still on sale or 'protected', please let me know and I'll remove it from Abandonware DOS as soon as possible.

What are abandoned products?

Abandonware is commonly used to refer to computer software that is no longer used or sold by the owner and for which no product support is available from the manufacturer. The most popular abandoned products include word processors, interactive video games, operating systems such as Nextstep and OpenStep among other applications, and these are often downloaded from freeware websites. Some of the most popular abandonware games available online today include Prince of Persia, Prehistorik, Battle Chess, The Armageddon, Terror from the Deep among several others. Such games are usually considered old school, but still find profitability in devices such as PCs and cell phones.

Abandoned products also come about as a result of the company owning rights to the software going out of business or selling the product to a new owner who is not interested in continuing to develop the product. The product is thus no longer marketed or distributed by the owner, but can be obtained from other sources.

Although most of this software is usually under copyright, the owner may not be tracking it and copyright violations are normally not enforced and those who share the products do so without having to compensate the owner. Software may also be considered abandoned when it can only be used with obsolete technologies such as pre-macintosh computers.

Types of abandonware

Abandonware

Ammonia crack cocaine. Being a broad term, abandonware encompasses several types of old software which may include:

  • Commercial Software: This refers to software that is owned by a certain company but lacks support. Some of the companies will make the software available online in form of freeware but others do not make old versions available for free use and do not permit people to copy the software.
  • Shareware: Authors of shareware usually make it available for free. However it is usually difficult to find older versions of such products since most of them are removed when new versions are released. Most shareware is unsupported and unmaintained although there is always a chance of getting a few historical versions.
  • Open source and freeware programs: Some companies usually abandon open source programs and these may be in form of code that can still run in current operating systems. Such products may include abandonware games that can easily be downloaded from freeware websites to the PC or cell phone.

Abandonware products can be made available through official announcement or by cooperation of its developers who release their software into the public domain, making it available as freeware. Most companies however, do not freely give up the copyrights on software but due to the non-enforcement and unprofitability of such copyrights, distribution by others over the internet is not prohibited.
